If you love coffee and cool cafes, Da Nang is going to win you over! During my stay, I visited many interesting coffee shops, each has its own unique charm and vibe.
Compared to cafes in Hoi An where many are suitable for both relaxing and working, I find that many Da Nang cafes that have a garden or ancient vibe offers mainly the short stools and tables. So if you are looking for laptop friendly ones, the modern cafes are usually the better option.
Regardless, here are some of the nice cafes in Da Nang to grab a cuppa! I’ve put them in broad categories for easy reference. Make sure to check out the hidden gems at the end!
Photogenic Cafes
Many of the places here are beautiful and definitely photo-worthy. As such, you will almost definitely see girls coming in pairs/groups to these ones for photos (Some people find this annoying so just a headsup, but know that this “instagrammable setting” is quite a selling point for the local market)
Chian Cafe
A modern cafe with bit of contemporary art flair. It’s white and bright decorated with colorful art pieces and furnitures.
Many people come here for photoshoots while enjoying a drink. Prices here are standard for cafes in Da Nang. I like the range of drink options here with tea and milk tea on offer. The roasted rice milk tea I had was fragrant and tasty.
What really drew me here though was their Japanese fluffy pancakes, which isn’t commonly found. For the price, I think it’s quite a steal since this dessert can be expensive in other parts of the world.
I tried the chocolate one and it’s pretty good standard. It has a right balance of bounce without collapsing, and sufficient egg taste that’s not overpowering.
From the cups to the lamps and chairs, you will see lots of funky shapes here. The cafe did build it with nomads and students in mind, so most of the tables are big and spacious with access to power sockets. They also provide self service drinking water.
Note that some of the chairs, due to their shapes, might not be comfy for long hours of sitting. So a bit of aesthetic and functional trade off there, but test out a few if you plan to hang around for long.

Xi Ne Bistro & Jazz
A beautiful cafe that attracts a lot of female customers because it is filled with plants and flowers. In fact, it has a flower shop right in it and a courtyard garden with fake lemons (but still nice nevertheless). Therefore, you will see many girls coming here for their Instagram shots.
The whole place kind of takes you back to the 80s and is charming in its own right. Prices here are slightly higher than surrounding cafes, but you are kind paying abit more for the special environment.
The cafe has some special beverages apart from just coffee, so I tried the lychee, coconut and aloe vera – one of their best sellers. It’s on the sweeter end but a welcomed change.
All that said, this is actually a good cafe for working. The tables are of good height and they have plenty of cushy sofa seats. You will find power sockets around the place. The internet speed here is also super fast.
My interactions with the staff here was a bit awkward for some reason, probably due to a combination of the language barrier, them being shy about it, but yet also want to try and be welcoming.
Anyway, they always have people manning specific zones, so you will be well attended to.

Normad Cafe
Another cafe rocking a minimalist contemporary, or what locals like to say, a Korean style. As you can imagine, its popular among the female population then. But many guys and families come here to chill as well.
It is a nice place that feels spacious due to the interior design. There are 2 levels both air conditioned. Several spots here are good of photos, including a room flower of flowers on level 2. Not to mention the whole colorful cluster at the entrance.
The cafe is also good for working or studying; it has a chill ambience. You can easily find power sockets around the walls. They also provide self service drinking water.
Prices are on the higher side here. They have a bunch of fancy drinks and pastry options. I tried the double sweet coffee after finding out it’s actually cheese coffee.
I like the cheese foam, and the drink didn’t actually taste extra sweet, so no idea why they named it that. Also got the grape cream croissant. The taste is nothing to rave about but it’s pretty substantial.

Popular Among Locals (Great Vibes)
These are cafes that you will see plenty of locals visiting as well, and they typically have nice garden or antique vibes.
Dreamer Cafe
Since I have enjoyed several garden cafes in Vietnam, this one easily fell within my radar.
Dreamer is set in sort of an enclosed courtyard garden within the city, making it a nice getaway.
The whole compound actually encompasses 2 cafes – the other being Mint cafe. I have not tried Mint but since Dreamer is deeper in, it is further from the bustling road. Despite the short separation, the surrounding at Dreamer’s side is more green and looks more beautiful.
I tried the salted cocoa and loved it. The salted layer is thick and creamy just the way I like it. And the cocoa was surprisingly strong and chocolatey.
My only rant is that despite being a relatively big cup, it had quite big ice cubes, so I finished it rather quickly. But taste wise, this was bomb. Definitely the best chocolate drink I’ve tried in Vietnam.
Prices are kind of between local places and modern cafes, and a lot of locals come here.
For nomads, note that this is not the best place for working. Most of the seats are short tables and stools. There’s only 2 tables indoors that’s good for working; those do have access to power sockets. And 3 garden benches of good height but leaves you pretty exposed to natural elements.
Overall a better place for chilling and definitely photos. You could still work here if you want to, provided you grab the suitable seats (which I did :p). They also provide drinking water.

Ikigai Cafe
Another chill garden cafe near the city center area. As implied by the name, there’s a bit of Japanese vibe in terms of the whole architecture but not so much on the decoration. So it’s a good blend with some corners that are good for photos.
A few leafy trees stand out by the front garden which kind of makes the place rather secluded and tranquil. Many locals like to come relax here and most of the seats are short chairs/tables.
The cafe has an air conditioned area on the second floor, and there’s a row of seats in there that are good for working on your laptop.
PS: If those are taken up, that counter drawer table at the corner in the first floor open area is actually good height as well. I just put a chair over.
They offer self service drinking water and there’s some power sockets around. But I wouldn’t say this cafe was set up for working.
Drink prices are quite cheap here, you get your regular Vietnamese coffee options at just slightly higher price that those roadside stalls. But I went for the cheese coffee which is rare to see in other cafes.
It’s essentially like your salt or egg coffee but the top layer is cheese. I see it more as a dessert as they gave a generous cheese layer with lesser coffee. Overall tasty! The cafe also have some pastries if you want a snack.

Anle Cafe
Another cafe that is super instagrammable from multiple corners. If you like the Japanese and garden vibes, this place is for you.
The small cafe entrance is sandwiched between two other cafes with bigger storefronts. However, if you walk in, you will find yourself in a spacious garden yard – greeted by a small water fountain and big anime dragon figurine.
The ordering booth is like one of those small wooden huts that is cute and cool. If you walk further in, there a whole mural of Doraemon waiting for you, in addition to a wall of plants with smoking mist. Talk about instagrammable.
Much of the area is outdoors; there is a block of indoor space with air conditioning. Regardless, there are fans outdoors that you can move around to stay cool. The cafe also has a second level patio.
This is quite a local place and prices are very reasonable. Compared to other garden cafes which only has stool seats, this one actually has several tables that are proper height – which means it’s suitable for working.
By now, I’m convinced most cafes have power sockets around because they need to power the fans. So you will find some along the walls or beams.
The staff isn’t very well versed in English since the cliente is mainly locals, but they definitely try their best to help with whatever you need.

Wind Coffee
Da Nang’s beachfront is nice, but one street in, you can also find places like this. Lush greenery, vintage vibes and a Koi pond full of fishes is why this cafe has all the right ambience as a chill spot.
It is located on a relatively quiet road, but nevertheless entering into the cafe compound makes you feel like you’re in a different oasis.
The main piece here is obviously the Koi pond with these huge fishes. You can buy pellets from the counter to feed the fishes, it’s a fun activity for the kids. Nevertheless, the overall decor of the cafe cannot be overlooked.
You will find interesting stuff like vintage cameras, radios, old school TV, typewriters and even sewing machines around the cafe. The only downside here is really the mosquitoes, so be sure to apply mozzie repellent when visiting.
Wind coffee only serves drinks, and they seem ok with people bringing food in for that reason; I saw a couple of customers eating from takeaway containers.
If you haven’t eaten though, they have smoothies and these low calorie blends that all seem pretty interesting. I tried the black sesame and lotus seed blend which feels like a light meal itself.
There’s a variety of seating, so certain tables are great for working. I’ve come to realise you should be able to find power sockets in most cafes because they have to power the fans. There’s also a small aircon space which I think is good for escaping the mozzies.

Trình Cà Phê
This is a popular cafe among locals seemingly for the relaxing garden vibes and their avocado coffee. It is quite a big space and the service is both fast and attentive here. The store stretches deep inside from the entrance and is filled with your typical short stools and small tables.
There are both indoor and outdoor seats, most of which are open air. I tried the avocado coffee – it’s thick and nice with a generous topping of delicious fried, coconut slices. Prices here are quite ok, it’s not as cheap some roadside local spots but also not as expensive as most modern coffee shops.
This is not a great spot for working due to the seating, but for some reason I saw multiple people working on their laptops placed either on the small table or on their laps. I presume they must really like the coffee here.
There are quite a lot of power sockets around since they have a whole bunch of portable fans to keep customers cool. The internet speed might be better upfront as I have a weak signal sitting at the back, but still worked fine (Note that the speed tested here is with the weak reception).
If you are sitting near the plants, I do recommend putting on some mosquito repellent. But overall a good spot to sit for a nice coffee and enjoy some Vietnamese music.

Nam House
If you are looking to revisit Vietnam in a past era (or as close as you can be), this is the place to be. This place just exudes an old school charm that it can easily be a museum.
Once you enter the cafe, you feel like you are in a different century. Every part of the cafe looks like it’s from the 60s. Hell, even when I was paying, the guy looks like he was doing accounting on those A4 books with hand drawn lines.
Some of the military stuff and wall paintings kind of takes you back to the communism era. There are elements from both eastern and western cultures which is what makes it interesting.
The cafe has two levels with the ground floor being cooler. But if you like fresh air more, then second storey is brighter with windows etc. This is a must-visit even if it’s just to look around, but many locals love to chill at this place.
They only serve drinks and also seem ok for people to bring their own food. I see a few tables eating their takeaway food here.
That said, this is not an ideal spot for working, although it’s not impossible. Seatings are short and leans back, more of a place to soak in the vibes.

Cafes Great For Working
Some of the cafes above are good for working as I mentioned in them. These one below either have specific working spaces or you commonly find many nomads on their laptops there.
But if a proper work desk is high priority, check out the coworking spaces in Da Nang, some of them have great views and/or a nice community.
Lighthouse Cafe
This is popular cafe for digital nomads near the beach front. You will almost certainly see people working on their laptops here. When I first visited, everyone on the cafe sitting zone was working LOL.
Both the cafe exterior and interior are quite unique. It reminds me of a blend between ancient European run-ins and an old school firehouse. Rather charming.
The interior layout is also quite different. There’s two zones, one for dining and one for coffee. Each zone is sorta segmented into 3 levels.
The cafe zone is usually filled people on their laptops or tablets. That said, all the seats are great for that purpose. They also provide free drinking water.
There is not a lot of power sockets around so I recommend coming with your devices charged.
Prices here are slightly higher compared to more local places, but similar to cafes within more touristic/expat zones.
I recommend sitting more towards the center area if possible. The Wifi connectivity gets a bit unstable, reconnecting periodically, when I sat next to the window on the top floor.

Wonderlust Cafe
A beautiful cafe that’s filled with plants. The whole interior makes it feel spacious and refreshing. It is particularly photogenic when the sun is bright and shines into the cafe.
It’s a 3 storey compound that operates as a cafe, souvenir store and coworking space. There are seats on all 3 levels, but the top level is usually closed on Mon-Thu. The second level is where you commonly find laptop workers, it has the most access to power sockets.
The first level is the best for photos since it’s like a small indoor garden. The center is hollow with the levels connected by a side stair. This structure makes the place bright and airy. There’s also an outdoor patio area.
They have quite a large variety of drinks from coffee, smoothies and even various pots of teas. Spoilt for choice, I ironically ended up going with just the typical Vietnamese milk coffee which did not disappoint.
The cafe also serves cakes and pastries like pancakes for food. Prices are not expensive either, comparable to other cafes.
Staff here appear to have better command of English. It looks like the norm around this area where Koreans seem to be the main customer group for many businesses.

Hideout Cafe
Hideout is quite well known among remote workers in Da Nang as it is a great spot to work from. And it’s not just the digital nomads, many locals come here as well.
All the tables and chairs are standard height, and there’s many power sockets around. Some are on the ground, so look down if you’re not near a wall socket. The whole place has a coworking cafe vibe.
They have two branches that are about 8 mins walk from each other, both near the touristy An Thuong area. No idea why some brands have outlets in close proximity, but it’s not the first I’ve seen. Anyways they are both very popular and can get crowded in the mornings.
Both cafes close quite late, so consider visiting later in the day for a more chill ambience. They might even run promotions then. On my last visit to the Đo Ba branch, they had 20% off drinks after 5pm.
Prices here are modern cafe range, comparable to market rate. They have some interesting options on their beverage offerings like lemonpresso, dalgona coffee and milk tea. Healthy smoothies and juices for the health conscious people as well.
They also serve pastries and brunch style food, thus why more people come during the day time.

Gear Coffee
This is one of those cafe that also has a coworking space at the 4th floor. The good thing though is that at Level 3, you have a seating area that is already similar to a workspace, and you can access there as just a cafe customer.
The 3rd floor is barely decorated but filled with proper tables and chairs suitable for working. There’s also a row of window seats that gives you the street view. 2nd floor is more cafe style, with both an aircon area and a outdoor patio that also has a street view.
First floor is the most well decorated in my opinion, and has a cozy atmosphere.
Prices are competitive so you often see locals coming here to chill, work or study. The cafe also have a lot of interesting drink options that you don’t typically see in other cafes. I had the mango coffee since I remember people recommending it, but there are other stuff I was tempted to try.
The mango coffee is interesting, it’s almost part drink, part dessert with like a mango ice blend mixed with coffee.
The internet on level 3 is the strongest I believe, since it taps into the coworking space connection rather than the cafe one.

Roots Plant Based Cafe
In addition to being a great spot for vegetarians, this cafe has clearly also established itself as a popular place to work from. Upon entering the cafe, you are sure to see people on their laptops.
It’s not particularly surprising seeing that the veg/vegan movement is a trend among nomads, and the cafe is right in the expat/tourist district of Da Nang. And I would say that’s the cliente for them.
The cafe has a nice, cozy vibe with the orange and green hue. There’s two floors with both indoor and outdoor areas. Most of the tables are great for working and there are power sockets available throughout the place.
The cafe offers a great selection of breakfast bowls, smoothie bowls and, what caught my attention the most, raw cakes. I tried the snickers and also the mezze platter, which tasted great; but I was very tempted to order 3 cakes. Prices here are also very affordable for a vegetarian restaurant.

Kite Coffee
Kite Coffee is a very popular spot for laptop workers (locals and foreigners) and students.
I’ve passed by multiple times and you will see people working there anytime from morning till their closing time at night. That’s probably their main cliente which is kinda funny because I’m not sure they marketed themselves that way.
The cafe doesn’t look anything like your super modern ones, but nevertheless very tastefully decorated with colorful paintings and porcelain waves as the main highlights.
Regardless, I think they settled into that “workspace” role nicely. Now they even have power extension chords that you can use. But most tables by the walls have access to power sockets. The tables are big and spacious which is just superb for working.
They have a big range of coffee options here and even segment it by Arabica and Robusta, so you can see they sorta take it more seriously than your regular cafes. Prices here are very reasonable which I think is another reason that people come.
The drinks are also presented very nicely. I tried the Cold Brew Pomelo (which is a mix of pomelo and peach) one evening and loved it. It’s light enough for the night, almost like peach tea but has a hint of coffee taste.
This is a small point, but they use these huge mugs for self serve water/tea which I don’t think I’ve seen any cafe offer. Plus the staff even comes around to top up your water.
Kinda insane that I’ve never actually seen the cafe fully packed. There’s always people but there’s also always seats available.

Tie Tag Cafe
If you want something special apart from the typical coffee options, Tie Tag is a great place to check out. They have many interesting beverages on offer from Durian smoothie to purple yam and roasted almond lattes.
Best of all, prices are similar to other cafes so you aren’t paying premium for them. I tried the black sesame latte and it was a welcomed change after having 2 cups of Vietnamese coffee already. The taste was aromatic with a balanced amount of sesame.
While the cafe interior is nothing super fancy, it is simple and nice. The place is brightly lit and actually quite big. Don’t be fooled by just the immediate storefront, there are more outdoor seats in the back and also on the second floor.
Many of the seats are pretty good for working with access to power socket. The wifi here is fast and they also provide drinking water. The cafe is open till quite late. It seems many Korean travelers like to store their luggage here, so I guess they provide that service too.

Paris Levain Bakery & Cafe
If you are looking for a cafe with more pastries than anything else, then this is your place. As you can guess from the name, they run on a french boulangerie theme and pastries are a well known pride of french bakeries.
Are the pastries as divine as those in France? Honestly no, but they are still pretty good. From the quality to selection, this is one of the best around since most cafes in Da Nang really focus on just the coffee.
Prices here are expectedly higher, but nothing crazy. The wide range of goodies on offer also means there’s several price points that cater to different budget. When I visited, there’s stuff right under $1 as well.
The second floor is a nice place to work from and I saw several people on their laptops. There are a bunch of tables with access to power sockets.

Hidden Gems In Da Nang
Most of these cafes I’m surprised there weren’t more people in them. If I stay in Da Nang long term, I’ll probably gate keep them for myself :p
Poly Bakery
This is one of the hidden gems when I visited as they are still pretty new. Poly Bakery seem to serve more of the local cliente. The drinks menu are mainly in Vietnamese without English annotations, and the prices are great value here!
That said, the place looks amazing. They tried to put a European spin to it, along with some cute elements like their bear coffee cups.
The salted coffee is tasty with, what I think is, a strong dark roast. Definitely rivals that of other cafes, and is the cheapest I have seen in a modern Da Nang cafe.
I also tried the garlic butter bread. While I would prefer the bread to be crispier (this one is more on the soft, fluffy end), they did not skimp on the butter or garlic – so it’s flavorful.
They have 2 levels, the second storey has two separate spaces. One of them even has a fragrant smell, like they put an aroma diffuser. This is also the best decorated room, with sunlight shining in through a big European style door that leads to a balcony.
Both area have tables that are great for working. There are also sufficient power sockets around. The upload speed here isn’t the best, but should be fine for most work.
Although the staff don’t speak great English, don’t miss out on it. Just use google translate on anything you need, they are very polite.

Noi – The Cabin
The Noi brand has several locations, but two of the most special are probably the one in the city center with its vintage vibe and the one by the fishing port.
The Cabin is the one by the fishing area, and while it’s out of the way, people who knows it come here for the special setting. The whole place feels like an antique junkyard by the docks, kinda more raw than cultural compared to the city center one.
It’s very charming, and they have a rooftop top that overlooks the docks for fishing boats. So it’s beautiful in during the day. And you can supposedly catch the sunset here as well (I didn’t as it got rainy).
That said, I also did not get the fishy smell which you might experience depending on the time and weather during which you visit. So be warned if that affects you.
Prices here are actually ok, especially if you are used to prices in the city center or An Thurong zone. They are comparable, but most locals will find it expensive for this secluded area.
The cafe is also ok for working. Several tables are of suitable height, or you can stack up some of them like I did on the rooftop :p There are power extension chords around that are used to power the fans, so you might find a few available ones.

Brewman Concept Coffee
This is a quaint Da Nang cafe located at the end of a residential alleyway, so it is quiet and chill since it is unlikely for anyone to just stumble upon it without knowing. Judging from the interactions between the staff and customers, many locals seem like regulars here.
The place is not too big but has a really nice, cozy ambience that I really enjoy. They also provide self-service drinking water.
The cafe only serve drinks, no food. Beverage prices here are slightly cheaper than standard cafes. They offer the typical Vietnamese coffee options, but also specialty stuff like drip, Chemex, V60 etc, so you can assume they take their coffee seriously here.
Also, the coconut coffee comes ice blended, if that’s your jam. I continued my addiction with salted coffee, and this definitely satisfied my craving.
Internet is very fast here. The ground floor is the best area for working with big tables and power sockets. However, the chairs aren’t great for sitting for extended hours, so maybe a couple of hours is good.
Personally, I like the elevated platform (which is sorta a second floor) as you can oversee the cafe area. It only has a few seats and one free socket, so come early if you want it. They also have outdoor seats at the entrance where you can admire some Koi fishes.

Joy Cafe
This cafe is right smack in the busy touristic district, and opposite the popular Han market. So why is it a hidden gem? From just the storefront, this looks like a spa + cafe. Bright and beautiful but kinda small.
However, the whole building is actually a combination of spa + cafe + hostel. And the cafe has seats on the 2nd and 5th floor as well. The 5th floor is a beauty with a great view of the Han River. The place is nice and quiet.
There are not many seats here but when I visited it was pretty empty. Indoors has about 4 small tables and 1 long one that can be shared. There’s a patio as well but can get warm during the day.
It’s a good spot to sit and get some work done with an awesome scenery. The only hassle is that the lift is a bit slow and you have to order on the first floor counter. However, they do bring it up for you after you placed an order.
Prices here are ok, maybe slightly higher for the coffee but overall nothing too expensive. The staff are pretty friendly and I felt they have a better command of English since the establishment is also a spa and hostel (so everything tourism related).

Nice Coffee
This is still one of the newer cafes in Da Nang when I visited but I expect more people to discover it due to the location.
The place has a beautiful and bright interior, and since the seating area on the ground floor is deeper in, its pretty chill and quiet despite being on the main street.
There’s a second floor which is non-air conditioned, and lets you see the street/road if you prefer more bustle. This is a smoking area though.
They have quite a big menu for drinks, and also have some Vietnamese + Korean food on offer. I tried the Oolong milk tea with pearls, good taste and I liked the texture of the peals.
Both floors have limited seats but most of them are great for working. And there’s many power sockets around. They put up another wifi connection on the second floor, but if you are sitting there, continue to connect to the ground floor wifi, it’s much faster.

Farmhouse Cafe
A cozy cafe in the Son Tra district that has a warm European vibe. Even though it’s right by a bustling road, it feels tranquil and peaceful with soft, melo music playing inside.
I like the ambience here; it’s great for a chill afternoon to sit with your books or laptop. Although it’s small, it’s not usually crowded. There are power sockets at some of the seats and they also provide drinking water.
It’s mainly foreigners coming here, but prices are comparable to other cafes, particularly the drinks.
The cafe serve some great brunch style food like toasts and breakfast plates which popular. I went for the beef bulgogi udon which stood out from the other options. It makes for a satisfying lunch although I could definitely eat more.
Drinks here are good as well, having tried the avocado milk tea and Saigon coffee. But they have quite a large selection including juices and fancy cocktail-like mixtures.

Giang Pomeranian House
The secret of secrets! Giang Pomeranian House is literally a house, where the owner stays in. This is not a dog cafe. It’s a cafe with dogs – very very cute Pomeranians that belongs to the owner.
She opened the living room of her place as a cafe where you get to enjoy a drink and play with the doggies. You don’t pay for time with the dogs like many dog/cat cafes; just buy a drink and you can sit around at the company of these furry babies.
The Pomeranians are just crazy adorable, and most of them are super active as well. They will certainly come jump you when you just arrive. There’s a couple who are more chill and would sleep next to you or on your lap.
They only open from late morning and it’s not a big place, I was so tempted to keep this a secret. But if you are around the area, go for it. It’s along of those residential streets in the touristic zone, so you might not catch it if you’re not looking.
Clearly, this is not a place for working. But it’s a great spot to stop by in between work sessions from surrounding cafes.
- Cash payment only
- Did not ask for internet here, because why would you need it.
J Cafe
I have to give this cafe a shoutout, because it’s here I found the cheapest salt coffee served in the biggest cup. And it tasted great, so we are not talking a big cup of shit coffee.
This was a lucky find as the weather was insanely hot after I finished a superb lunch (remember to check out my Da Nang restaurants writeup). I had other cafes in mind but due to the weather, I decided to just hide in a random, modern looking cafe right around the corner.
Temperature wise, it wasn’t a good idea; so I gotta warn you first that the aircon here is kinda shit. But that clearly did not prevent people from coming to work or study here. The indoors only has 4 tables, and they were all full when I was there.
Coffee prices here are cheap! At my time of visit, the salt coffee was 25K when you typically see them priced at 35K or above in regular cafes. I’ve never seen salt coffee at 25K, at least not in seated cafes. You might find them at those roadside stalls,
Then it came in like a kitchen mug. I was stunned when I saw the guy bring it. That’s twice the size of what is typically served.
Whilst sitting there, I saw them packing delivery orders and just visually I don’t think the takeaway cups are as big. So I recommend “dining in” if you are looking for a big dose of caffeine.
Enjoying Some Vietnamese Coffee In Da Nang
Exploring cafes in Da Nang is an absolute blast! Each cafe offers something special, from cozy garden vibes to trendy workspaces. And there’s always new ones popping up in the different popular districts.
I can totally see how this city is developing into a digital nomad hub. Hope you get a chance to visit these awesome spots and enjoy your coffee adventures just as much as I did!
